With "My Property Finder" you will have your own personal research center with the ability to use the Advance Search, Save Searches, save and organize properties into Favorite Folders, and at your option, receive Email Notices of newly listed properties that meet your advanced search criteria, and have unlimited access to Virtual Tours and Photo Galleries.

The two time sensitive issues in need of IMMEDIATE attention once you make an offer on a property are attorney inspection and property inspection. When you contact these people, please advise them that you have been referred to them by Liz Moore of RE/MAX Action – when they know the reputation of an agent & their office, they really try to fit you in, even if they are very booked. If for any reason you experience difficulty or are not able to get an inspection within 5 days, your lawyer will have to ask for an extension – from this point on, negotiations take place between lawyers, not between Real Estate agents.

When seeking to purchase a home it is important to address the issue of financing as early as possible. One very important reason is that sellers do not wish to have unsecured offers. Let Liz Moore, you DuPage County REALTOR, help you find the right Lender

Basic homeowners insurance covers the following types of home losses and damages: smoke, thunderstorms, lightning, fire, burglary, defacement of property, civilian chaos, vehicle or aircraft damage, volcano eruptions and breaking of glass. More comprehensive policies that cover damage due to earthquakes, floods, ice, sleet, air conditioning and heating damage among others are also available. Condominium owners typically only have to insure what is on the inside (jewelry, electronics, appliances, etc.). Structural insurance (roof, outside and adjoining walls) should be provided by the condo association.
Experts suggest insuring a home for no less than 80% of the purchase price. A lot is usually salvageable when fire destroys a home, so the owner may eliminate undamaged items from the claim. If the home is uninhabitable and the owner seeks shelter in a hotel, part or all of the lodging costs may be covered by the policy.
Companies offer discounted policies for a variety of reasons. Purchasing a home and auto policy through one company, for instance, may save you 5-15%. Eastern U.S. residents living in brick houses, which typically are better able to withstand wind and hurricane damage than other kinds of housing, may also qualify for a discount. Similarly, frame homes in the western states often receive price-breaks due to their resistance to earthquake damage. Belonging to a business, alumni or other organization may also offer sizable savings because they purchase their policies in bulk.
